The experiment conducted established that lifting forces on an asymmetric object changed depending on the way the object had been immersed in the fluid and that such changes were caused by surface tension. %K buoyancy %K force of surface tension %U http://www.nef.balikesir.edu.tr/~dergi/makaleler/yayinda/11/EFMED_FZE157.pdf
